EYELET-MACI-IINE.

, Specification of Letters Patent No. 11,027, dated June 6,1854.

To all 'whom t may concern.'

' Be it known that I, HYMEN L. LIPMAN, of Philadelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulEyelet-Machine for Punching the Holes and Fastening the Eyelets with theSame Machine; and I do hereby declare the following is a full, clear,and exact description of the construction and operation of the same,reference being had to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1, is afront sectional View and Fig. 2, is a side sectional View.

A is the eccentric lever; B, the cutter or punch; C, the point orfastener; D, spiral springs.

In this machine, which is made of iron, the eccentric lever is soarranged, that by moving it to the right'and left, it is made to depresstwo pistons, to the end of one of which is attached a cutter or punch,and to the other a point for securing the eyelet, this arrangementenabling one by a movement of the lever to the left to cut or punch thehole, and by a movement to the right,

to secure or fasten the eyelet, thus greatly facilitating the operation,and securing a more compact, convenient and speedy mode of fasteningeyelets than has hitherto been attained.

Having thus fully described the nat-ure of my invention I would statethat I lay no claim to the devices herein described when taken separate,and uncombined, but

What I do claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Thearrangement in one stock, of the double acting lever A, punch B, andfastener C, with their spiral springs D and counter dies, or anvilblocks, for the purpose of punching'lioles for, and setting eyelets inone machine as set forth, and this I claim when said lever actuates bothpunch and fastener, by allowing one to rise, whilst the other is beingforced down, as represented.

Dated Philadelphia J une 4, 1853.
